In order to obtain a Concealed Carry Handgun permit you must apply to the Sheriff’s Office within your county of
residence. The Sheriff shall issue a permit to you if you qualify under the following criteria according to
North Carolina General Stature 14-415.12. The following questions are part of the Sheriff’s Questions that
will keep you from receiving your concealed carry handgun permit. We

conditions?

“This class was very informational. I think before citizens are able to purchase a firearm they should be required to take this class. By being in this class I was able to learn my rights as a firearm owning citizen.

The class was perfect, it included an instructional video and there was material available for hands on learning. The instructors were very involved and really cared that you were able to understand the materials covered in the classroom. The instructors used real life scenarios that helped class retain material.”

Rodney Reddick

“This class is a very good class. It help me learn a lot of stuff, like safely. I feel good about this class.”

Shane Howell

“This class is great for the understanding and confidence in using a handgun. The instruction of the class helps you determine when and what you need to do in case any situation arises. As far as things to do better for the class, I would say keep everything the same. All points were explained as needed and were given opportunity to ask and get questions answered.”
